Patrick Meehan on Crime

Formed the Route 222 Corridor Anti-Gang Initiative

Pat formed the "Route 222 Corridor Anti-Gang Initiative," which secured federal funding to target and prosecute violent gangs and drug organizations. It is the only regional, anti-gang initiative in the country.

As part of the federal program "Project
Safe Neighborhoods," Pat assigned Assistant U.S. Attorneys to each district to work on prosecuting violent offenders with criminal histories under the federal firearms statutes, which call for substantial prison terms upon conviction.
